IRONING-BOARD AND TABLE COMBINATION.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 14, 1916.

Application filed September 13, 1915. Serial N 0. 50,529.

T 0 all 107mm it may concern: Be it known that I, \VILLIAM M. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Weston. in the county of Lewis and State of Vest Virginia, have invented new and useful improvements in Ironing-Board and Table Combinations, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in combined tables and iron ing boards, and my object is to provide a table and movably mount a top thereon.

- A further object is to hingedly attach an ironing-board to parts of the table in such manner that it may be moved. to a position below the top or extendedabove the top for use. And a further object is to provide means. for securing the ironing board in its elevated position.

' Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter set forth and more particularly pointed out in the accompanying specification.

In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application, Figure 1 is an end elevation of the table showing the ironing board in folded position. Fig. 2 is a detail transverse vertical sectional view through a portion of the table and the ironing board showing the board in elevated position, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a portion of the table and ironing board in operative position.

. Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1

indicates a table which may be constructed in any preferred manner, preferably comprising fraine bars 2 arranged substantially rectangular, which frame is attached to the upper ends of supporting legs 3. Mounted upon. the frame bars 2 is a top 1 which is provided at its ends with angle-shaped strips 5 which engage tongues 6 upon the end frame bars and sl-ide thereon, said strips 5 permitting lateral movement of the table top for a purpose to be hereinafter set forth.

Secured to the supporting legs 3 at a point between their upper and lower ends is a shelf or platform 7, and extending from said platform to one of the side frame bars is a post 8 and between said post and-one of the supporting legs is positioned my improved form of ironing board 9, said board having standards 10 attached thereto through which and the post 8 and supporting leg 3 is introduced a pivot bolt 11 so that the board 9 may be-lowered until it' rests upon the shelf 7 or elevated to extendabove the top 4.

One edge of each'standard 10 is provided with a notch 12 which registers with one of r the side frame bars when the board is in elevated pos1t1on,and 1n order to securely hold the board in elevated position, a latch -13 is pivoted to the faces of the standards having the notches therein and said latches are bowed in their length so that they will direct pressure against the outer face of the frame bar and securely hold the board in elevated position, each latch having a handle 14 for operating the same.

The ironing board, when not in use, is swung on its pivot until one edge thereof rests upon the shelf 7 when the table may be used for any desired purpose, but when the ironing board is to be used, the top 4 is moved laterally and the board swung upwardly until the standards assume a vertical position when the handles 14 are rotated to dispose the latches over the outer face of the frame bar 2 to hold the standards in vertical position, the top 4 being then moved inwardly until the edge thereof engages the inner edges of the standards, thereby assisting in holding the standards in vertical position.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a very simple form of combined table and ably mounting the table top so that it may be moved out of the path of the ironing board when the same is being raised or lowered, any suitable structure may be provided for disposing the top out of the path of the ironing board.

Having thus fully what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is z 1.
